Room 402

Often I wonder, “what’s ahead?” As an overthinker and a person who tends to live in their head where anything I desire Is real, I think about my future a lot. I think about other people’s future a lot. I think seemingly non-stop or at least until my breaths slow and my eyes shut for the few hours of sleep I manage to get.

Just last night, April 26, 2021, the night of the pink moon, my roommate and I got into one of our many nightly discussions. These nightly talks usually consist of how our day was then lead into any and every topic. We usually have to stop each other from talking when we realize we’ve been talking for far too long.

On this particular night, I was sitting in my bottom bunk bed and she was sitting at her computer mustering up motivation to complete work. Little things like that is what I’m going to miss most about my life at MSA.

Room 402 will be missed and the memories it holds for me. The door handle takes a certain finesse to open it. At any given moment, you’re sure to hear me playing music and softly singing along. It smells faintly of citrus and lavender upon entrance, but more often then not, the smell of food overbears it. Both my roommate and I  like to operate on full stomachs.

I’ve mentioned my roommate in previous blogs, but I can’t help but mention her again. Not to brag, but I have thee best dressed senior of the class of 2021 as my roommate. I love it here!  She has seen me cry more times than I’d liked to admit and each time she would offer me comfort as best as she knew how.

We’ve given each other motivation speeches often throughout the school year. She has really made my first year at MSA go smoothly. I hope to be as gracious and generous as she is my senior year. I admire her and all of her many talents.

Probably Standing by the snack desk,

One thought on “Room 402”

  1. This is so sweet, Taylor. I know I will come back to this post during the summer when I’m reminiscing and need a bit of nostalgia. You captured the little moments that make attending MSA the delightful experience that it is wonderfully. I found your sign-off to be lovely as well! 🙂
